Radiation - my experience

I was also a bit thrown by the whole rad. process - felt so vulnerable lying there with arms above my head and different staff buzzing around marking my body, positioning my body etc, etc. I have been known to sunbake topless so it is not as though I am shy about showing my breasts, but this process was quite a bit more emotionally threatening. I did ask why they couldn’t place the sheet over my chest and was told because I was using the breath retention machine the ‘box’ on my diaphragm that recorded my breathing needed to be open in order to create the wifi image. I guess the whole situation is just so clinical. Generally the staff were fantastic and showed great empathy but I will be glad when all is done. At this stage I am halfway there - seems to go on for ever though! Think my topless sunbathing days might be over though!
